Re: Tokyo Game Show Hot Shots info

I think we all expected a delay but wow, just wow. I really don't think the studio has enough people for such an open world type multi faceted golf game. I hope they get the team they need or this thing will never be released.

Re: Tokyo Game Show Hot Shots info

We'll get more of a hint of how the game looks later in the week when the two days of playable demos take place but it appears they are taking a huge gamble by shifting away from a pure golf game (of sorts) to one that focuses on social interaction between playable avatars within a sandbox arena. Not sure how long people will remain interested in fishing and swimming.

Personally, the characters were key to the game for me and now that seems to have been removed, I am already less interested.

On the bright side, we have another year, at the very minimum, of this game and Glenn's trolling of G0 tournaments by using every second of the clock, good times!

Brush up on your Japanese, get your google translate app installed, and hope there will be a physical disc version of the japanese release because any chance of playing a new HSG iteration in 2017 will require playing the japanese version. BTW at peak times, there are still easily 1000 people on the minna 6 server.

You could always just buy the digital version BGunner. That's what I have done the last few releases. It's easy to setup a Japanese account with something like google chrome. Then you just add the ID to your PS4 and you can play anything you buy on your US account. As a bonus buying a Japan PSN point card is pretty easy now with places like Play Asia and Japan-codes.com. They aren't even that expensive because the exchange rate is favorable right now. A 5000 yen card on Japan Codes right now is $57 and play asia is only $54 and they are digitally delivered. The current exchange rate would make 5000 yen $49 so only a $8 or $5 markup. That's a lot better than you are likely to find the markup on the disc version of the game.
